According to a report in The Mirror, Liverpool are interested in Leicester City’s Jeffrey Schlupp.

The 18 year-old Schlupp has scored four goals thus far in the Championship for Leicester City, and the German youth international could be in line for a transfer to the Premier League before too long.

Schlupp is highly rated by Leicester manager, and former England boss, Sven-Goran Eriksson, who may struggle to keep hold of the striker if his current form continues.

"There is no doubt that Jeffrey has a great future ahead of him," said Eriksson. "He is a fantastic talent and he is just getting better and better.

"This season he is even stronger, more confident. He has a little bit of everything. He is strong, has good technique, a good left foot and is not afraid to fight in the air for the ball."

Leicester City next play Derby County on Saturday.
